What is "Suppressed callnumber" in Incoming Call trigger?

In the Incoming Call trigger, there is an option for "Suppressed callnumber".
What is it and what does it do?

I cannot find info and documentation on it.

Hi,

'Suppressed callnumber' means that Android does not know the call number of the calling party. Sometimes it's also called 'hidden caller ID'. In my area this is often the case when call centers and banks call, but you can also enable this in phone app->Settings->Calls->Additional settings->Caller ID->Hide number for your own number.

Regards,

OK, I see.
In my area, a 'Suppressed callnumber' shows up as a 'private number' or 'unavailable id'. They are usually telemarketers and spammers.
All people who know me or who are in my contacts show their number when they call me.

I make it a personal policy NOT to answer a 'private number'.
So, the 'Suppressed callnumber' option is a very easy way to create my own spam filter flow (just "End Call" for 'Suppressed callnumber').
